2019 PDC Pro Tour
The 2019 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. Players Championships and European Tour events are the events that make up the Pro Tour. There were 43 PDC Pro Tour events held, 30 Players Championships and 13 European Tour events.
There used to be UK Open qualifiers as part of this list, but they were abolished in September 2018 as the UK Open was made exclusive for the 128 Tour Card holders, 16 Challenge Tour qualifiers and 16 Riley's qualifiers.
This page also includes results from the PDC's affiliated tours including the Development and Challenge Tours and all the regional tours as well as the results from the World Championship regional qualifiers. There will be 20 Challenge Tour events, 20 Development Tour events, 10 PDC Nordic and Baltic Events, 12 PDC Asia Events, 30 Dartplayers Australia Pro Tour events, 6 EuroAsian Darts Corporation Pro Tour Events and 10 Championship Darts Circuit Pro Tour events during the 2019 season.
The 2019 season in darts saw a major shift in the rules between players playing in the Professional Darts Corporation and the British Darts Organisation. For the first time since the split in darts the BDO let players that play in their World Championships take part in the PDC's Qualifying School without withholding their money or banning them. With the change in rules high profile players such as Glen Durrant, Scott Waites and Mark McGeeney committed themselves to the Qualifying School.
